.357 for deer

[NelsErik]

Not sure if it counts as a .357, but my dad's favorite hunting gun is his 35 Whelen. He uses the same bullets that I use for plinking with my S&W 627 V-Comp. I have always wanted his 35 Whelen, he shot a bear in Alaska with it last year.

I realize a deer might run 100 yards after being hit with a 357, 30-05, 308, 300-mag, 44-mag, etc.

Though not well expressed in my post, the concern was "without a drop of blood." If my dad's deer had gone 100 yds, my dad wouldn't have been able to see it fall and maybe not find it.

Use a large meplat SWC and there will be blood.
